Hi,

what do you think of:

"With each new office suite and word processor release we become more
concerned that software companies like Sun Microsystems, Corel, and even
community projects like OpenOffice.org are more interested in competing with
Microsoft Office than they are in developing excellent software. The new
features and enhancements in each release are all about doing what Word does
or mimicking Excel. Why not just worry about adding features and 
improvements
that users want, rather than play catch-up with Microsoft?

StarOffice 8 leaves us with that catch-up feeling. It is a good office 
suite --
 better than Microsoft Office for the money, and better technically in many
ways -- but it's trying too hard to be like the market leader. We'd rather 
see
an intelligently designed office suite with a fresh approach than one that 
can
do everything that Microsoft Office can."

bottom line: add features users want rather than mimick Microsoft


cheers, Lars
